Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, says law is no longer a noble profession in Nigeria.
VeryDarkMan made this assertion on Friday in a post on his social media handle while responding to criticism over his invitation to the Nigerian Bar Association’s 66th Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt.
VeryDarkMan was invited to participate in a panel session on insecurity at the conference, where he shared his experiences and views on the security challenges facing Nigerians.
However, his appearance triggered criticism from members of the legal profession, with some questioning his invitation and participation at the conference.
Responding, VeryDarkMan said he attended the conference to speak on behalf of poor Nigerians and those without a voice, questioning why some people were uncomfortable with his presence among lawyers.
The social media activist subsequently turned his criticism to the legal profession, dismissing claims that law remained a noble profession.
“I spoke on behalf of the poor people. I spoke on behalf of the people that don’t have a voice. Because a son of nobody was seen in your midst.
“This bunch of clowns are telling me that law is a noble profession. Well, lately, law has not been a noble profession. I’m sorry to say. I’m not even sorry to say. It is what it is,” he said.
